Real Madrid have been on a signing spree this summer, and the list of players they have recruited simply goes on and on.
The defence was the first department that was reinforced with Ibrahima Konate, Marc Cucurella and Denzel Dumfries all arriving. Bernardo Silva was then confirmed as a new player as well, and Carlos Espi became the latest to join that list.
Added to that, Los Blancos are on the verge of sealing the arrival of Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig and Rodri from Manchester City, and word has it that they could well target another centre-back as well.

Ideally, every player is presented individually to the fans before the official start of the season, but making arrangements for so many presentations in a matter of weeks is difficult, if not impossible.
Alberto Pereiro, on that front, relays a creative solution that the club have in mind, and it is indeed to club player presentations.
As reported by the Spanish journalist, the Merengues could well present all their summer signings together on the same day, thereby unveiling a whole section of the dressing room at once. Further, Jose Mourinho will also be presented on the same day.

Mourinho thus has little time in front of him to prepare the side for the new season which is set to begin in a matter of weeks.
Further, the FIFA World Cup being scheduled last month means that several first-team regulars will rejoin training days before the new season officially begins, and Real Madrid would rather focus their resources on training than fancy presentations.
Given that the presentations must be completed before the club’s curtain-raiser for the new season, there is barely any time remaining on their hands. The arrangements must begin soon.
